Meet Lynne! She will be presenting Essentrics at the Visionary Fitness and Leadership Conference! So exciting! ... Essentrics was created by Miranda Esmonde-White, a former ballerina with the National Ballet of Canada. Her fitness program draws on the flowing movements of tai chi which promote health and balance, the strengthening theories of ballet which create long, lean, flexible muscles and the healing principles of physiotherapy which support a pain-free body. This dynamic full-body workout stretches and strengthens your body. Essentrics is uniquely able to rebalance your body while preventing injury and improving overall well-being. It is low-impact, equipment-free, and is perfect for men and women of all ages. It leaves you feeling energized, more mobile and strong. ogradyfitness.com/conference Approved for 6 AFLCA/Fitness Leadership CEC’s!

#Repost @essentrics with @get_repost Regular strengthening and stretching of our legs and feet are vital for boosting energy and keeping us feeling pain-free. But what happens to our body when we injure a small and often overlooked part of the leg: the baby toe? Lynne Loiselle, a Level 4 Essentrics Instructor in Calgary, AB shares her experience In 2019, I fractured a baby toe and was forced to wear a walking cast for a few months, immobilizing my foot and ankle. W...ith Essentrics, we always strive to rebalance the body, knowing that even the smallest bone can affect the whole when it is out of alignment. Prior to my introduction to Essentrics, years of competitive body-building had left their mark on my body.I had started getting severe back pain a few times per month which lasted for over one year. Within a few months of Essentrics, it was gone. [But with my injury] I experienced hip imbalance, which lead to hip and back pain. The stiffness in my foot was energy-draining as I started to weight bear and walk again. Slowly, with regular Essentrics, I was able to release my hips and back and regain strength and mobility in my foot. Finding ways to adapt Essentrics exercises were key to keeping her body as balanced and pain-free as possible while healing. Says Lynne I firmly believe that we are all capable of more than we think we are. I know that for some, exercising is not easy. She infuses this thinking into her classes: My goal with each class is to take my clients just a bit further whether that be improving their form, helping them understand a technique, improving their body awareness, or simply moving with a bit more ease. And sometimes it simply means offering a safe place for clients to come and move and take care of themselves. I always end each class with this line: Thank you for taking care of yourself today. My goal is to make each class fun, motivating and empowering. @lynnebycfitness . . . . . #essentrics #releasestress #stressrelease #rangeofmotion #dailyexercise #fullbodystretch #stretchitout #essentricseveryday #dynamicstretch #dynamicstretching #stretchworkout #essentricsinstructor

Now that we finally have snow (and loads of it!), I was able to take my snowshoes for a test drive. Love them! Crazy workout in some deep snow. This should keep me fit this winter and sane as we remain in lockdown. #snowshoeing #winter #getoutside #mentalhealth #covidbedamned
